Ethics & Health Equity Bundle: 6 CE Hours for Massage Therapists

This bundle combines two complementary courses — Grounded Practice: Ethics, Boundaries & Communication and Health Equity Foundations — into a single enrollment package. Together, they cover 6 CE hours across the two categories most commonly required for massage therapy license renewal.

Both courses approach their subject matter the same way: grounded, clinically relevant, and framed around what it actually means to practice with integrity. Ethics and health equity are not separate obligations. They inform each other. This bundle holds them together.

Ethical decision-making, boundaries, and consent in everyday clinical practice

Professional communication when situations become complex

Peer discussion and supervised reflection on real practice scenarios

How systemic inequities shape access to care and client trust

Implicit bias and its effect on therapeutic presence

Culturally responsive practice as an expression of professional responsibility

Total CE Hours: 6 Hours (4 Ethics + 2 Cultural Competency / Health Equity)

Courses Included: Grounded Practice (4 hrs) + Health Equity Foundations (2 hrs)

State Acceptance: Ethics CE accepted in 30+ states; meets Oregon supervised ethics CE requirement; meets Washington State equity CE requirement; meets Oregon cultural competency CE requirement

Certificate: Two certificates issued separately upon completion of each course

Certificates are issued electronically, typically same day or within 24–48 hours of verified completion.

Participants are responsible for retaining their certificate for licensing requirements.

This bundle includes two courses enrolled separately through Teachable

Grounded Practice: Ethics, Boundaries & Communication — Interactive, discussion-based, text-based modules with supervised peer discussion, written reflection, and participation tracking.

Health Equity Foundations — Self-paced, text-based modules.

Both courses are delivered through Teachable LMS with open enrollment. You can self-enroll using the links or join codes provided and begin immediately.

Students may complete each course at their own pace.
